This is unfortunately the market and “capitalism” working as it should. Price goes up, incentive to produce more goes up too.

Not necessarily. If the entire industry triples its prices and alienates 40% the market, it's still coming out ahead. It only incentivizes producing more if there are enough people unwilling to pay for the new prices, or if it were easy for a newcomer to come in (it's not)

Do you have a source for any of this?

I’d previously heard 1M a day.

A subjective sample of yourself isn’t representative of the overall economy or the way an economy should be run.

> Most states have a public real time map showing snow plow locations. Ask yourself why is it not a problem when their info is public. From what I’m reading, I imagine it’s because the snow plow trackers don’t individually identify their operators as this seems to.

Alpine + Livewire is the go-to stack for SPA-like Laravel functionality these days. If you "need" JavaScript for form purposes, Filament is well worth taking a look at as well.

AFAICT they don't process payments.

Who are "we"?

I'd say it depends. Which "CIA fabrications of today" are you referring to?

Many people likely have something that springs to mind, based on their own existing biases, but that differs between people. When naming a particular "fabrication" you'll probably encounter much more resistance. (Russiagate? HIV/AIDS? The moon landing?)

> There is no single scientific evidence that lockdowns save lives.

I'm all for science, but are you implying China's strict COVID lockdown strategy didn't save any lives?

Of course it extended some specific lives. It also shortened others. The question is what the net effect was and I don’t think we’ll ever have reliable data on the net effect of the lockdowns in China.

You say that as if the only measure of a government is the net number of lives saved at the end of that government. I would argue that's largely irrelevant.

Whether extremely strict lockdowns like those seen in China and Singapore save lives or not is completely irrelevant as they are wrong, at the most basic level. Whether other countries went too far or didn't go far enough can be debated, but having police lock people inside their own homes isn't really something you can argue that good government does.
